Oh dear me what do mine eyes seeJames Renald and my love sat under yon treemy heart it bleeds for she loves him indeed sing hi lo lay at the end of the daysing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Here I stand empty heart, empty handWhile he has my true love and he has the landOh my heart is soreFor she loves me no moresing hi lo lay at the end of the daysing hi lo lay at the end of the day

No more she'll fly, no more she'll cryAll over the cold earth beneath which I lieOh my heart it grievesfor my side she now leavessing hi lo lay at the end of the daysing hi lo lay at the end of the day

Let the cold wind blow, let the years come and goI'll wait for my true love, though she'll never knowI wish them no restLike the heart in my breastsing hi lo lay at the end of the daysing hi lo lay at the end of the day

I wish them no restLike the heart in my breastsing hi lo lay at the end of the daysing hi lo lay at the end of the day
